Mediocrity

today i release mediocrity

send it on its way

from the palm of my hand

with a poof of breath

and off it goes

hurdling through the yawn of space

like an untethered planet

 off to land on the head

of some poor unsuspecting soul

ready to burrow in

and set up camp

tampering with hopes and dreams

and the best-laid plans

squishing them down

and crushing them flat

like ants

under a well-placed heel

its echo remains

now a forlorn whisper

etched upon my veins

and lurking

in the rusted shadows

beware….

stay awake!!

(life was not meant to be a mediocre experience....)
